Hinting at industrial, glitch, IDM, clicks, and disjointed cuts wrapped around technoid structures, it’s so jam-packed, that it’s a challenge to unfold each layer; this is a good thing.
Tag: IDM
Illocanblo :: Maze (Rednetic)
There are albums that build up gradually, and then there are albums that simply propel like a rocket right from the start. Maze follows the later trajectory.
ANKUBU :: RX_71_0 (Subtrakt)
Dilapidated structures and sub-structures deform on RX_71_0 casting blistered symphonies submerged in devastating rhythms.
Jvox :: Strange Universe 3 (Component)
SU3 is yet another foray into the unknown; allowing its listeners to traverse distant and dense sound structures that are utterly unique and abstract, eerie and serene, chaotic and calm, and often at the same time.
Stasis :: From a Failing Light (De:tuned)
From a Failing Light is absorbing and totally transfixing, a message from the past with a touch of the present. The continuation of a legacy from a true legend.
John Nap :: Wrong Number EP (Heterodox)
A half dozen selections of evolved rhythmic twitches and splatter drums run rampant on Wrong Number.
V/A :: Artist Showcase – 3rd Edition (Point Source Electronic Arts)
Point Source Electronic Arts continue to expand their sonic reach with well-curated compilations displaying a knack for abstract electronics in all of its wonderfully skewed shapes and forms.
Rontronik :: Majestic Mosaics (Self Released)
Maneuvering through dilapidated ambient-electronics, alien concrète reverberations and clicks’n’cuts, data swirl and digital flutter.
Gilbert :: Shift the Focus EP (030303)
Gilbert pulls on a range of influences and inspirations without ever allowing his style to become overly nostalgic or specific. Instead, he employs a fluency of composition that brings a real uniqueness to his sound.
Autechre :: Chiastic Slide & LP5 reissues (Warp)
…I like to think of Chiastic Slide and LP5 as the last albums Autechre made on planet Earth before gliding into another dimension.
Scarper :: Fyretone EP (Plexus)
Delivering downtempo frequencies bursting at the seams with chilled, mid-90s sound-scaping nostalgia, Fyretone drafts a parallel with the likes of B12, Sun Electric, Bola, and The Higher Intelligence Agency et al.
